Chapter 505: My Informant Is Extremely Reliable

Lu Zhongxin was startled when he heard this and hurriedly asked,

"Is the tip accurate?"

A bombing case is no joking matter.

If the eight categories of cases were ranked by their viciousness, intentional homicide would undoubtedly take first place.

But when it comes to social harmfulness, bombing cases are the undisputed number one.

There was a prefecture-level city in the country where a particularly major bombing occurred in the early 2000s, killing over a hundred people.

At the time, it could be said the whole nation was in an uproar.

From this one can see how terrifying and unsettling bombing cases are to the public.

And the criminal's motive for the crime was simply to take revenge on his ex-wife and her family.

A comparison makes it even more intuitive.

The murderer who killed the most people in the country spent a full three years, committed 26 cases, killed 67 people, and could be called a "killing demon king."

Yet the criminal who carried out the bombing killed over a hundred people in just one night, and injured several dozen more on top of that.

This is the destructive power of a bombing case.

The social harmfulness it causes simply cannot be compared to ordinary crimes.

Therefore, upon hearing that someone had purchased a large batch of explosives, Lu Zhongxin was so frightened that the hair on his arms stood on end.

This matter absolutely cannot be taken lightly.

Better to believe it exists than to dismiss it as false!

Any whisper of a rumor must have its authenticity verified.

"Absolutely accurate."

Yu Dazhang replied with a solemn expression:

"My informant is extremely reliable; the tips he provides are one hundred percent precise."

The reason he dared to make such a guarantee was that the informant was himself.

Or rather, his past self.

That's right, this was another rebirth perk.

He remembered very clearly that in his past life, it was during this exact time period that an explosion occurred at a small-loan company in Hongkou District, killing four and injuring two.

What was unexpected was that among the four dead was the perpetrator of the bombing himself.

Precisely because the perpetrator also died, the police never managed to figure out what his motive was.

In his past life, Yu Dazhang had been filled with puzzlement and incomprehension over this case.

What on earth could drive a person to be so resolute, even willing to take everyone down with him in a mutual-destruction act of revenge?

Later investigation revealed that the perpetrator had no financial dealings with the small-loan company, nor any contact with them at all.

They were complete strangers.

After seeing the perpetrator's photo, the deceased's family also said they had never seen this person before, and the perpetrator's name was completely unfamiliar to them.

Yet it was precisely such a person who, clutching a homemade bomb, charged straight into the loan company without a single word of nonsense and detonated it immediately.

When the police later pulled the surveillance footage, they initially thought this was a hired professional hitman.

But the problem was, professional hitmen don't work like this.

Nor were there any traces of fund movement on the perpetrator's personal accounts.

Yu Dazhang had been reborn back from 2024, so for him this case was already ten years in the past.

Because so much time had passed, he only suddenly recalled it last night.

Originally he had wanted to check how many days were left until the New Year, but the moment he saw the electronic calendar on his phone, this case suddenly popped into his mind.

At the time, for the Hongkou branch bureau, this case was an unprecedented major case.

"Do you know where the suspect is hiding?" Lu Zhongxin asked.

His trust in his apprentice now even exceeded the trust he had in himself.

At least when it came to handling cases, his apprentice was indeed far more reliable than him.

It was no exaggeration to say that if a major or important case really occurred in Hongkou District, the task force leader would have to be none other than Yu Dazhang.

Even Li Jun, the detachment captain, would have to step aside.

Criminal investigators have an unwritten rule: when a major case comes up, whoever has the ability takes the lead—everything is subordinate to solving the case.

"I can't be certain exactly where the suspect is hiding right now."
